The reason is that it is well understood by intelligent, well-informed people that Leiter&#39;s is a disastrously stupid idea inconsistent with the sort of social order that does meet human needs reliably and well.&quot;<br />http://bigthink.com/ideas/41927?page=all<br /><br />Then here&#39;s Leiter&#39;s takedown of Wilkinson: <br />http://leiterreports.typepad.com/blog/2012/01/will-wilkinson-a-profile-in-ideological-blindness.htmlAfshinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02154906626155228319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020960402708303830.post-28575893064578888952012-01-18T00:38:21.160-05:002012-01-18T00:38:21.160-05:00Thanks for the consideration on the aesthetics of ...Thanks for the consideration on the aesthetics of your blog. Personally, I&#39;ve got no clue what would be a good compromise where the font color would be both good on a black and white background. But I&#39;ll take a stab and say somewhere between blue and purple.Afshinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02154906626155228319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020960402708303830.post-64452774544357947882012-01-17T19:39:12.005-05:002012-01-17T19:39:12.005-05:00K.

I never thought about that red/green colorblind thing I have to find the number in whenever I renew by drivers license.<br /><br />I could reinstate the blog I created when someone else complained about the colors but never read it (and doesn&#39;t read me anymore) that mirrored in content this shit but with white background with dark type. Or not.

Which means that they can&#39;t see the difference between red and green which is why you DON&#39;T use it.

Changed the font (who cares) but took away the linkable time stamp, effers.<br /><br />Heh, when I ran the old site on some blog evaluater a couple of years ago it too told me my site sucked too. The dark makes the photos and youtubes look better to my eyes. As for font color, my limited knowledge of art tells me red is the complementary color to green.

Just say the word.<br /><br />Heh.Landruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11954074164878242561noreply@blogger.com
